Congress floor leader Mallikarjun Kharge demanded the Centre to constitute a parliamentary committee on E Ahamed’s death and those found guilty after inquiry should be punished.

"Ahamed was unnecessarily kept on life support when he had already expired. They wanted to hide this fact, they hushed up his death. That is why we are demanding a Parliamentary Committee to be formed to probe the matter," Kharge said.

Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu claimed that the Opposition is trying to politicise the issue and that the government is ready to address it when raised. “Government will answer if issue raised. They are trying to politicise it. Doctors did their best; don’t understand what is the issue?” Naidu said.
